RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Pritam Singh 2018-12-06 18:24:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

Getting 'CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN' error for expired certs and 'Unauthorized' error for revoked certs in RHEL8. Is these expected?
Because earlier for RHEL7.4 -> RHEL7.5 the error messages changed from "PKIException: Unauthorized" to "FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED" and "FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_REVOKED"

As not able to seeing appropriate error messages for Revoked and Expired certificates as below:

[root@pki1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.0 Beta (Ootpa)

[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminR" ca-profile-show caAgentFoobar
PKIException: Unauthorized
[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminE" ca-profile-show caAgentFoobar
FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN
IOException: SocketException cannot write on socket
[root@pki1 ~]# ls /var/lib/pki/
topology-02-CA  topology-02-KRA


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

PKI Command-Line Interface 10.6.8-1.module+el8+2277+f150bc67

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to terminal and fetch certs or profile with Revoked Cert:

[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminR" ca-profile-show caUserCert
PKIException: Unauthorized

2. Go to terminal and fetch certs or profile with Expired Cert:

[root@pki1 ~]# pki -d /opt/pki/certdb/ -P https -p 20443 -h pki1.example.com -c SECret.123 -n "CA_AdminE" ca-profile-show caUserCert
FATAL: SSL alert received: CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN
IOException: SocketException cannot write on socket

Actual results:

Getting 'CERTIFICATE_UNKNOWN' error for expired certs and 'Unauthorized' error for revoked certs in RHEL8.

Expected results:

Error messages should consistent whatever may be the topology. It should trigger 'CERTIFICATE_REVOKED' for revoked certs & 'CERTIFICATE_EXPIRED' for expired certs.
